GRIG Group Expands Its Presence in Spain with the Acquisition of Airlan SA and Airlan Industrial SA

GRIG (Giordano Riello International Group) Spa, a global leader in the HVAC sector, has announced the acquisition of Spanish companies Airlan SA and Airlan Industrial SA. This strategic move reinforces GRIG’s position in both the European and international markets.

Airlan, headquartered in Bilbao, has an established reputation in air conditioning and air treatment solutions across Spain.

With six branches across Spain (Barcelona, La Coruña, Madrid, Palma de Mallorca, Seville, and Tenerife), Airlan also has a presence in Peru and the Dominican Republic through its subsidiaries.

Following this acquisition, GRIG Spa's revenue will exceed €600 million, supported by a global workforce of over 1,900 employees, further cementing its position as a major global player in the HVAC industry.

Strategic Growth in the European Market

It demonstrates our commitment to growth and consolidating our leadership in the HVAC industry both in Italy and globally.”

The acquisition agreement, signed on December 3 in Bilbao, was supported by Crédit Agricole Italia, which played a pivotal role in finalizing the deal.
